The international community must take necessary measures to ensure the right of Azerbaijanis deported from Armenia to a safe and dignified return and exert serious pressure on this country to rectify the historical injustice, said Azerbaijani Ombudsperson Sabina Aliyeva’s appeal on the 33rd anniversary of deportation.
The appeal states that hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis were expelled from Armenia based on their ethnic background, becoming victims of crimes against humanity and war, suffering various severe injuries, and being taken as prisoners and hostages, with many brutally killed.
“Armenia’s policy of ethnic cleansing and hatred resulted in a gross violation of the fundamental human rights and freedoms of Azerbaijanis,” the appeal emphasized.
It also highlighted that the Azerbaijani ombudsperson has prepared special reports and video materials on hate crimes committed by Armenia against Azerbaijanis and has presented them to relevant international organizations.
